Import Tips
• Include lab tests confirming buffalo (bovine) origin and grain split processing to distinguish from equine or other leathers
• Ensure no reversible tanning per chapter note (b), with full processing records for 'further prepared' verification
• Avoid bulk packaging pitfalls; declare per hide surface area accurately to match 'not exceeding 28 sq ft' criterion
